AMD 6470M on Win 8

[safstar]

Hey guys,

So I recently upgraded to Win8 on my PC and I thought I was good( oddly no drivers were required) until I put any OpenGL game on it. I went to AMD and downloaded my drivers, they did not work. I then checked DXDIAG, apparently Win 8 is reading my 6470M as a 74xxM card, I downloaded THOSE drivers and still no luck I need help.

What may help is to know which games you are trying to run so there can be additional help thrown your way to troubleshoot the issue.

I'm not exactly sure what is going on there. I wouldn't think you would set things to opengl for minecraft/google earth I just ran them and it worked =\

I did not install any drivers at first, but my resolution was at its max( usually does not do this)

No, just the core functions are.
